re: It's so obvious that Fox News was ready to tee off on Obama

All Obama statements have an expiration date.
quote:
In a landmark speech last year in which he pledged to take the United States off a "perpetual wartime footing," Obama said that he would work with Congress to "refine" and "ultimately repeal" the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force, or AUMF, a measure hastily passed in the chaotic, fear-filled days following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
quote:
Indeed, the decision to rely on the AUMF further protects the White House from congressional oversight. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, a senior administration official said Obama's legal justification for taking military action against the Islamic State relied, in part, on the 2001 AUMF that the president spoke of eliminating just fourteen months ago. "The president has authority to continue these operations beyond 60 days consistent with the War Powers Resolution because the operations are authorized by statute," the official said, referring to that measure's requirement to secure congressional authorization 60 days after the introduction of U.S. troops.
